Fools created the world, and wise men have to live in it.
The world has been made by fools that wise men should live in it
── Oscar Wilde (Oscar Wilde)

Tolstoy's story I have also heard a lot, everyone has been indulgence and arrogance, perhaps later advocated spiritual awakening , Perhaps ran away from home, opposed to sex, abstinence. He strived for peace and maintained the enthusiasm and courage that outsiders said when he was away, but he was destined to be exiled by himself and died on the road.

Some people are constantly making suggestions for idols, creating a simple and noble death.
Valentin said that you are just creating an idol, which will only be more like you than him.

This movie has some transitional outlines, but nothing to do, but it is not a complete Tolstoy at all. People who know him will feel amused, even angry, and perhaps a little compassionate. Why do the great men and heroes of an era become Great men, why they become heroes, is because they are kind but pitiful. They see the conspiracy of the whole world, but cannot see the conspiracy behind them. This conspiracy may come from time, from the villain, and from all the conspiracies that can hurt him. , Including destroying those they love.


A real man will not die for the honor of a hero, but will live for the one he loves.
──Fujisawa Shuhei "Twilight Seihei"

In that era, "action" was a noble and supreme word. It was initiated by a great man, calling everyone to act, not oppressing, everyone came voluntarily, they rushed to one Common ideals, struggle for it, and grief for it. But when a series of actions similar to Tolstoyism prevailed, they overthrew the religion of the church while also establishing their own religion. Abstinence was for purity and inaction, and distance from society was for ultimate peace, so they were pursuing love and freedom. On the way, love became a traitor. But to do happy things with lovers, don't ask whether it is the fate of the catastrophe, the philosophy after all, or the deviation from the slogan.

Countess Sophia is stubborn like a child. Even in her old age, she still screams, pranks, and deliberately stirs up contradictions to attract the attention of her lover. The more uproarious she is, the more afraid she is. This great writer will have One day, she became the hero of everyone, but she was the only one who left her. She was just a little hen of her, counting his hairs, humming jokes that only they could understand each other, the world and her are in harmony, but what about him , There are always some stalwarts in the world, like peaks that make people stop. But his is indeed mine, I love him, I hate him, I comfort him, I teach him, he is my husband, my lover, my son, my world, and my god. This selfish right is not about war. It's just a trivial victory of ordinary love. We are always afraid to make peace with life and society, and even resist. But once you are with your lover, you will find that even tricks and tricks have meaning. He frowns and she hides a pack of cigarettes. She is too lazy to cook. He willingly wears a suit and bowls. They are one, and love is one. This kind of thing is not like love, not great, not refined, but unbreakable, like iron melting into a river in a flame, becoming steel, a new substance, not old and not rusty.

I am not proud of being contemporary with heroes.
I am only happy to be able to stay with my lover forever.
People are such a tacky thing, and love can never be a traitor to the world.
If love is forbidden, it only means one thing.
There are more and more people who need it.

Whatever the reason, being banned is always an honor without a ceremony.
